Semneby disappointed over lack of progress in Karabakh process

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The conflicts in Kosovo and South Caucasus have their own unique history. There are more differences than similarities between them. So, it's erroneous to draw parallels," EU Envoy for the South Caucasus, Mr Peter Semneby said.



"Talks are held neither in Abkhazia nor in South Ossetia but I am hopeful they will resume after the situation in Kosovo settles down. As to Karabakh, the process is going on. Full-fledged participation of Armenia and Azerbaijan holds these countries from dramatic moves. Although absence of progress arouses regret, certain stability inspires hope," Mr Semneby said in an interview with Kommersant daily.
